anti-communist in nature of course but interesting. i think Planning will come back in some form in the future out of sheer necessity. our answer to covid is Nothing, our answer to climate change is More Guns and Harder Borders. how long can this really last? people are going to be moving in mass quantities. we need to house them, give them jobs, education, health care, a social life. we need green energy not tomorrow but now.
capitalism won't be able to deal. and all the precious plastic garbage that supposedly makes capitalism superior to communism? fewer and fewer people are going to be able to have any of it. i think people will look back at the "crude" soviet planning and fucking wish they had it. a hastily built apartment is better than living in a fucking refugee camp or a garbage dump which, sorry, is our future unless we do something
